This is more for a restraining tool, but it could help out. Get some triple antibiotics cream to put on it also bc they don't like the taste

It is a very small muzzle.. I would get one of the elizabethan collars (the cone) that way your dog could still breathe through his mouth and just not be able to bite himself. Hope he gets better soon! :)

I feel your pain....I did find something called "Check Ups" that are supposed to help their teeth as well, and some similar small rawhide strips, but I don't feel like anything works as well as these at keeping my dogs breath manageable. I'm hoping the price comes down soon.

More than likely yes.This harness works on pressure points and by pulling against the chest.As your dog pulls, the connection point pulls toward you, this in turn draws up into the "arm pits", and at the same time embraces the dog in a sort of hug.Any further effort is pressed against his or her chest, the strongest point.I highly recommend coupling this with a reward training method, and a short leash. About 2 to 3 feet or less.Nothing will correct bad behaviors on your part, which often translates to bad behavior on the dogs part.My smallest dog, is most likely larger than your Shepherd, as I have mastiffs and Newfoundlands all using this harness.

You need to get to the root of the aggression issue....not with this product. Spaying your dog is not going to make it less aggressive....Go to a dog class, or hire a dog whisper.

If your dog is close to needing the larger size, better to go ahead and get it because with my dog, he discovered eventually he could get his head around to lick his wound. I think if I would have gotten the larger size that wouldn't have happened. I think this happened because I didn't have quite enough air in it so need to make sure you have it full enough with air. It certainly was far more comfortable for him than the cone. Just need to keep an eye on your dog and make sure he isn't close to being able to reach the wound, otherwise they'll keep trying if they think they can.

Some dogs have a very dominant nature. Sometimes with this they will resist some of the training. Wearing gloves will help protect you from nipping and biting.

I would not use a stimulation collar to train a dog to quit biting. That's an aggressive behavior, and it's potentially dangerous. I would go to training classes with a reputable trainer instead. I think a stimulation collar would make aggressive behavior worse. That's just my opinion as a life-time dog-oriented family person. I am not a veterinarian or behavior specialist, so take what I say with a truckload of salt. But I wouldn't trust a collar for that type of training.

This collar is air filled, so if he really tries, yes he will. My boy (who we had neutered) tried a couple of times at first, and I stopped him. After that, he was ok and didn't try to reach back there.

I have two of these for two dogs that suffer anxiety. One was a biter when I got him as an adult Chihuahua the other is terrified of loud noises like thunder, etc. The trick is to train the dog to love the shirt first and recognize it as safe. Give a treat every time he wears the shirt for a few minutes and praise, praise, praise him so he understands it is good, not punishment for a bad deed. It works and works well IF you take the time to work with the dog in the beginning with the shirt on.

No. I am a professional trainer and believe in pheromone therapy. I have tried this on many different dogs and no results at all. Other pheromone therapy can help. Check thyroid level. For aggression problems needs to be in the mid range.

My opinion is that if your dog is already afraid of the groomer and bites, this product will only make your dog more afraid...I have a non aggressive dog, I used this to keep her from running and barking at passerby's... it really frightened her and made her act weird and avoid me for a couple days...

To be honest I bought this and it didn't even work for my dog, She is a Doberman and has a serious problem with licking her paw until it's bleeding and raw. I sprayed this on her 3-4 times a day, it worked for half a day then she didn't even care about the taste and continued to lick. I would say though if it works on your animal it would probably work on table legs and such because once you spray it, the taste is there. When my dog was young to keep her from chewing on wood I would spray it with water and shake red pepper on the area, that seemed to work also. I wish you luck :)

I think it could help - it really can't hurt! I've heard it works differently for individual dogs, but we had success with it. My dog went through a terrible fear/anxiety period when she was about a year old. We placed the comfort zone plug-in directly behind her crate and it was an amazing difference. I combined stress relieving tactics for the best results. "Composure chews", also available on Amazon, are a calming supplement that helped. It won't drug your dog, but helps keep the anxiety lower. Good luck with the move.

This coat helps anxiety, but I doubt it would do much to stop your Corgi's barking. There are other products sold for that, but well-timed calm reassurance from you may be a start. I appreciate my dog's "watchdog announcements" but am guessing yours is excessive. Good luck!

I believe that it would...it is based on both verbal and hand signals. The collar gives a slight bite when used correctly and with my dogs it was a very quick process. It also worked on a pitbull puppy that I was helping my daughter train to walk on a lease. He also learned quickly. I think the product is great and would recommend it to anyone. It must be used correctly though ( I watched the DVD several times before each lesson to make sure I was following MY directions for proper technique and consistency ) and ONLY with just enough force to get the results. Good luck with your puppy :) I believe that it would...it is based on both verbal and hand signals. The collar gives a slight bite when used correctly and with my dogs it was a very quick process.

I'm not sure but I want to say no. Snuggle pet helped when our dog was a puppy to sleep at night but did not help when being in his crate. He never did get used to the crate, we gave up!

It might work...I got this to mine because she was eating my plants also was vomiting her food once in a while and now I really haven't seen her do any of it....it won't hurt to try :-)
